They can only gather information and advise President Trump and other Executive Officers.
Welcome to the real world. Twice I’ve been called into the office and not even given the opportunity to prove my worth before being let go due to a corporate reorganization.
Once after being employed for eighteen years. I did get a nice “go Away” check but my career ended that day.
My sympathy for these useless bureaucrats is solidly pegged at zero. Learn to code
Canned answer that I give permission for the employees to use:
Q. “What would you say you do here”
A. I’m an essential worker keeping the American economy on track for growth by online shopping at work. I drink coffee and read online newspapers that cost $10,000 per subscription in furtherance of the 1srt amendment. Got a bonus last year for having to read that drivel.
The DC blob deserves the Bobs, big time.
Shouldn’t take more than 2 minutes to describe and justify what you do. I look forward to it if I haven’t retired by the time they get around to my organization. And that GSA or Labor “guy” in the video is mostly lying.
I’m a people person!!
The scary part is that the answer the main character gives is more truthful than any other answer :)
If you can’t explain what you do so it makes sense to a teenager, maybe you should rethink what you do?
I worked in an office for several years, all of us got fired by some dude on a speaker phone! Severance package? Hahahaha, 15 minutes to collect your stuff now go away!!! Zero F’s to give.
Well, you see, that’s the rub…most federal employees actually have no job duties that aren’t just B.S. made up by their managers…and making up that B.S. is one of the few job duties of that manager.
Even a 19 year-old can handle these types of assessments:
1. So I see you’ve been working here for the last ___ years, is that right?
2. What would you say you do here?
3. What were your ten [adjust for length of tenure and type of work] most important contributions to the mission of this organization?
In my experience, government employees actually worked fairly hard and took their jobs seriously. The problem was that the “work” was mostly unnecessary or counterproductive. If the recent stories of what USAID was up to truely reflect its activities, terminate the hardest-working, most “effective” employees first. The mere layabouts do much less damage.
If it takes longer than 15 minutes for you to explain what your job is…then you don’t really do anything real.
Welcome to the jungle.
My God, what a pathetic, sheltered, crybaby whiner. These people have NO idea how they come across to the NORMAL Americans who work for a living and face layoffs every day.
I’ve worked for rapidly growing companies, companies that peak and are static, and shrinking companies.
In the first instance, you are under intense pressure to keep the growth going, look for new markets, find new customers to serve.
In the second instance, you are trying to find the old fire that made the company great and figure out why growth has stalled and what you can do about it.
In the third case, you hope you won’t be the one to get the axe and you get motivated to develop a Plan B if the axe does fall.
You learn how to grow your skills to make yourself more valuable, how to read the tea leaves, and how to constantly prepare yourself for anything.
The federal whiner in this video epitomizes a person who thought he had a paycheck for life no matter how little work he did or how worthless he really was.
There are probably many thousands of federal employees who can only speak in word salad like Kamala Harris.
A five minute interview will expose them.
